I'm sure it was near Kalona. You are in real 'quilt country' when you are in that area.

Just came S. Carolina, went through N. Carolina, at one of their welcome center rest stops (don't know which-wasn't driving, I watch scenery) they had some beautiful quilt block tiles hanging inside.

Wow. I have traveled I80 in that part of the state many times and we have never stopped at that rest area as we try to make it to Galesburg, IL when we are eastbound and stop at Walcott when we are westbound. Might need to make an extra stop next time.

lol You wish you could get points like that! lolol That's funny.
Besides Drunkard's Path, Jacob's ladder was a little strange. And a circle in the middle of Bear's Paw! :-)
I agree, the story behind choosing those decorations might be an interesting one.

LOL I guess we Iowans don't need to stop at the rest stop as we head out of state. I've never stopped there either.

givio, I think some of the distortion you see is the camera flash off the tiled floor.
